Our phonics program began with the short vowel sounds and of course the letter A. Being over ambitious and playing off of Prez's excitement of "being in school", we did a week of alligator activities.
Here we made life sized drawings of alligators at different stages in life. We painted them, measured them (with uncustomary units), and compared them.
Here we worked on identifying the letter a as well as the word alligator. He memorized this chant with the hand movements and above the chant is a picture of an alligator he made by practicing his shapes. He also practiced some handwriting.
Every four year old can work a little on following directions as well as some measuring, for Math purposes. So, what better way than to make Gator Juice.
Bubbles got in on the fun as we read some alligator books with our snack.
We didn't want to exclude Bubbles from the "A" activities, so we had her calculating the
area of our kitchen/laundry room/dining room to be tiled. The
attitude was just a bonus! Gotta love this girl.
